Transmission work
Has anyone used Ramsdell Transmissions for work?
I have a F-350 Diesel that is in need of some transmission work and I noticed they have an ad in the classifieds. |

After a bad experience with a shop that simply swaps in rebuilt transmissions that they source elswhere, I would highly recommend working with a shop that actually rebuilds your transmission. I have no idea if Ramsdell does that or not, but you can ask.

As it is it is only overdrive that is slipping and that is only when it is being worked. I got through all winter plowing and found that if I leave it in tow and haul while I'm carrying my plow and about 500lbs of sand in the back I'm ok. If forget and have it in drive then it slips when it tries to downshift. |

A transmission shop owner told me a long time ago to leave OD off if driving less than 50 MPH; said it would make the OD last much longer. When I had to have my transmission rebuilt after 12 years (much of it towing my 7400 LB boat/trailer), the OD unit was still in great condition and it did not have to be repaired. |

2004 with over 130K on it, been plowing 11 or 12 years, towing boats and work trailers, I'd say it's been doing OK. Now if ford could make a truck that didn't rot out I'd be more inclined to buy a new one instead of keeping this and replacing my commuter vehicle. |

Glen Road West Lebanon, NH 603-298-8240 Make appointment early. As there can be a long wait. Professional oil undercoating. I have done every year in September or October. My truck is over 20 years old with zero rust. |

Do yourself a favor.........check out Portland Transmission also known as Russel Auto in Manchester. Absolutely the best there is and been there since 1957. They also work on the big stuff like PSNH trucks and fire trucks along with of course automobiles.

I can understand your reluctance to use "tow haul" mode for normal driving if it keeps the TC from locking up. It probably increases the shift point RPM too. |
